Had the same issue with my attic exhaust fans, ribit. After about two or three years of use, the motors on mine gave out. Had the motors replaced and they lasted another three or four years. I had my electrician come out and take a look, and he said the motors were Chinese-made crap and too small to do the job properly. He was able to find some new fans with better-made, bigger motors that would still fit into the existing opening. They've been running for years and years and years, now, without any problems. I guess the moral of the story is to shell out a few more bucks for top-notch fans when you have them replaced. I should have had my electrician buy and install the fans, rather than leave it up to the roofing company. Live and learn.

Electric Motor in Attic Exhaust Fan Gone South.

The electricians came out this morning and looked at it. They are going to order a motor cause they didn't have one that would fit on hand and to replace the whole unit would require work on the hole in the roof and if ya putzes with a roof that don't leak, it will start leaking right away. Anyway, these two guys are up to speed on what is going on in the country as anybody on this board. Steadfast Trump supporters and all that. I have yet to find anyone in or around Toadsuck who would give a dem the time of day. Of course there are a lot of folks around toadsuck who don't know the time of day nor what day of the week it is, but they got strong suspicions.
